Overview

Protocol title: "Efficacy and safety of doravirine in the rapid initiation of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in HIV-1positive patients without prior treatment."

Detailed description

Protocol number: FH-96

Primary objective: To evaluate the antiviral activity of DOR/3TC/TDF at week 48 in HIV.

Secondary objectives:

1\. To evaluate the antiviral activity of DOR/3TC/TDF at \< 200 coIPes/mL at week 48, using the intention-to-treat analysis (FDA snapshot analysis) for the exposed population (ITT-E). 2. To evaluate the antiviral activity of DOR/3TC/TDF at week 48 using an observed analysis (only including patients with available virological data).

3\. To evaluate the antiviral activity of DOR/3TC/TDF in the subgroup of participants with baseline ITINN mutations that do not confer resistance to doravirine, (according to the list of mutations defined in the exclusion criteria) by calculating the proportion of patients with viral load \<200 coIPes/mL and \<50 coIPes/mL at week 48.

4\. To evaluate the antiviral activity of DOR/3TC/TDF at \<200 coIPes/mL and \<50 coIPes/mL at week 24.

5\. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of DOR/3TC/TDF. 6. To evaluate the antiviral activity of DOR/3TC/TDF at week 48 in patients with a baseline viral load \>100,000 coIPes/mL.

7\. Immune response: to evaluate immune recovery (CD4, CD8 and CD4/CD8 T-cell counts at weeks 24 and 48.

8\. To evaluate the development of HIV-1 resistance in patients experiencing virological failure while undergoing treatment with DOR/3TC/TDF.

9\. To assess changes in weight, BMI, and liIPd profile (total cholesterol, HDL, LDL and triglycerides) at weeks 24 and 48.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion criteria

• Subject has to voluntarily signed and dated an informed consent form, approved by an institutional ethics committee.
• ≥18 years of age.
• Not previously exposed to ARV (naïve). Subject may have received oral PrEP and PEP within the last 6 months and injectable PrEP and PEP within the last year.
• Have a received an HIV diagnosis within 30 days prior to selection. Defined as: Having confirmed HIV-1 infection. HIV-1 positive result is considered if the HIV1 RNA in plasma is ≥ 1000 copies/mL or two HIV antibody tests (using two different tests) are positive.

NOTE: Participants may be included without knowing their baseline viral load. If baseline viral load results are less than 1000 copies/mL, the volunteer's participation will be suspended and they will be considered to have failed the screening test. A viral load brought by the subject may be considered if it was performed within the last 30 days prior to the SCR visit.

• CD4+ T-cell count: No limit.
• Subjects able to meet the protocol requirements.

Exclusion criteria

• History of hypersensitivity to doravirine, tenofovir, or lamivudine.
